Stomal and Wound Therapy Management

Who we are

PCH’s specialist Stomal Therapy and Wound Management nursing service provides care for inpatients and outpatients who have a stoma or who are undergoing surgery that will result in a stoma (a surgically created opening on the wall of the abdomen that helps with the drainage of body products that would normally be removed from the body by the bowel or bladder).

Types of stoma include colostomy, ileostomy, vesicostomy, appendicostomy or mitrofanoff).

A stoma may be temporary (to allow the bowel time to heal) or permanent.

We also provide consultative services for children with complex wounds and skin issues.

ongoing education and advice on diet and lifestyle to help manage your child’s stoma.

We can facilitate your application for membership to community support groups, including the WA Ostomy Association (WAOA). WAOA processes applications for the Department Of Health Stoma Appliance Scheme, which provides members with stoma pouches and accessories required for ongoing stoma management.
